# Dan Beyer: Byer made Week 18 survivor picks: the Jaguars over Tennessee, and, as a coin-flip alternative, the Falcons to beat the Saints. **Claimed:** Jan 2, 2026 **Pundit:** Dan Beyer — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/dan-beyer **Outlet:** Fox Sports Radio (podcast) — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/fox-sports-radio-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://omny.fm/shows/i-want-your-flex/i-want-your-flex-week-18-position-rankings-hot-plays-more 2 checkable claims — 2 game outcome picks — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record. All 2 have settled, averaging 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess at the same calls. > So I like the Jaguars in this situation for a survivor pick. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Jacksonville Jaguars to beat Tennessee** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Atlanta Falcons to beat Saints** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Atlanta Falcons - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess ## Who this take is about - Jacksonville Jaguars — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/jaguars - Atlanta Falcons — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/falcons ## What others said about the same people - Nick Wright on Jacksonville Jaguars: On his Week 3 pick show, Nick Wright gave straight-up final-score predictions for five games, calling blowouts by Seattle over Washington and Kansas City over Miami, a Jacksonville home win over New England, a narrow New Orleans win over the Raiders and a low-scoring Baltimore win over Dallas in Brazil.
